This week, Danielle talks with Sekou Andrews - 17-year full-time poet, 2019 Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album, and creator of Poetic Voice: a speaking category that fuses inspirational speaking seamlessly with spoken word poetry. Sekou takes Danielle through his journey from teacher, to working musician & actor, to accidentally falling in love with spoken word and finding his true passion in making a living off his words. He talks about what it was like to receive the first Grammy Award Nomination for a Spoken Word Poetry Album in 30 years with Sekou Andrews and the String Theory, and the experience of being beaten out by the one and only Michelle Obama. Sekou reflects on the spirit of service, collaboration and passion as his driving forces to create work and inspire others.
